Question

I don’t know how to solve the following linear equation with jQuery.

12.5x = 20 + x + (20 + x)/10
(Note that 12.5, 20, and 10 are numbers provided by user)

Is there a way in jQuery to get x?
Thank you very much

Your problem is purely related to Math

Assume you equation is of format:

ax = b + x + (c + x) / d;

Hence the solution is:

var x = (b * d + c) / (a * d - d - 1);

if b === c then, solution is:

var x = (b * d + b) / (a * d - d - 1);
